Threatening won't get your $10 back.
If you loaned her $10 in the form of cash or drinks, write it off. I'm actually a softy like you, but I've been "hardened" over the years by those that whine that they need $10 and promise and swear and promise again and swear again that they'll pay you back and it never happens.
I learned the best way to handle it is to tell them that I don't have any cash on me and that I don't get paid until the end of the night, when all the patrons have already been kicked out. (I'm not even sure that I do that anymore... you'll have to check with Athena)
(see? that wasn't so bad was it?)
